Chapter 39
River's POV
"Um... I gladly would have never interrupted this fine moment but you know the doorbell is ringing and you got mad last time I opened it without your permission."Nate laughed awkwardly and I quickly pulled away from Ethan's grip without taking a second to look at the expression on his face, walking towards the door.
I opened the door looking at directly ahead but there was no sight of anyone so I decided to close the door and midway I heard a bark causing me to jump.
I narrowed my gaze to find a golden retriever pup laying on our green doormat and before I knew it Nate was in front of me holding the dog.
"Please, Mom can we keep it!!!!"Nate exclaimed petting the pup and I simply smiled.
This was probably's Ethans doing but I decided to act oblivious to the fact.
Ever since I was little I loved dogs but despised cats.I always felt like they had the devil hidden within them and found no reason what so ever to like them.
"You know puppy's are a lot of responsibility, right?"I questioned him to make sure he was up for it even though I knew James and I would be doing most of the work but I wanted him to get used to responsibility.
I did not want Nate to be one of those rich spoiled brats even though I knew his father, James, My mom, brother, and Mateo will do exactly the opposite of what I tell them.
Ever since we were in high school James would always do whatever pleased him even if it meant violating the rules but if it wasn't for him I would have never got through juggling work with the house, and Nate.
"Ok fine but early in the morning, tomorrow before I leave we have to go to the vet and get all the supplies necessary for him to survive, "I explained and he jumped for joy as Ethan gave me a puzzled look. I glanced at the clock
9:55 pm
"Nate come on hun its time for bed," I said, ignoring Ethan's look.
"Mom can Eth.....can dad sleepover?"He asked, balling his big blue eyes while making that cute grin of his, Ethan now had a smile wider than all the bodies of water combined.
"Im not so sure Ethan would not want stay over."I practically threatened to scold Ethan and trying to keep a smile for Nate.
"No I would lov-" He began but I kicked him with my heel."fu- owwww"
"See he said no." I said, trying to give a disappointed look but the grin was overshadowing.
"What I did not say no I was-"
I needed an excuse ga damn it, somehow, so he would not sleep over. I really did not feel like seeing his face in the morning especially if we were going to talk. I was not ready to talk. "Yeah yeah dont remember you ahhh said um.....you told me you had work to do," I explained, cocking my head in his direction.
"No no I do not-"
"But our beds are uncomfortable I am so sure you would wake up broken."
"I'm sure I can manage."He smiled and to this point, my eyes were throwing daggers at his. I was literally getting sick of him, so sick I was getting ready to through him outside. "But we live near a train station Im sure your sleep-"
"I will mange-"
"But our food is gross."
"We will by some in the morning."
Ahhhhhh I was getting ready to choke him, and if Nate was not in the room I would have done it years ago.
He frickin found an excuse for everything.
I sighed, rolled my eyes taunted my self than finally said, "Fine."Loud enough for Nate to hear and then leaned in closer to him so I could whisper this sentence in his ear and so I could make myself perfectly clear." but Ethan if you come into my room during the night I will scream loud enough to get the neighbors here, do you understand."I continued jabbing my index finger at his chest.
"Yes, ma'am." He smirked and I knew that smirk really well, it was the Im going to act like I'm going obey smirk than do the complete opposite of what you told me not to do.
We walked to Nate's room tucked him in, each kissed him goodnight and then left the room.
I soon walked to the guest bedroom with Ethan trailing right behind me and I could somehow feel the idiotic smirk on his face.
"Where are you going tomorrow ?"He asked and I sighed I knew this question was coming.
"Serenity Knight the owner of Righteous Rights and I have a meeting in Seattle with the owner of The N§S Grand Plaza Hotel, "I explained opening the door and then walking into the bedroom.
As I was turning I heard a slam of the door and a lock being closed. I slowly turned on my heels to find Ethan looking at me with a mischievous look.
Goodness, I should have known.
"You said not to enter your room and this is my room sooo.... "He gave me a smirk walking slowly towards me.
Shit!! I knew he was going to do this. He always violates the rules.
"Ethan open the door!" I exclaimed as I tried to keep a stern look on my face.
"Is it because you know, you can't be in the same room as me without being all over this gorgeousness."He smiled slightly biting his bottom lip. Was it true, maybe?
No, no no no River don't let him play with your mind, I told myself.
It took me a while before I replied and each second I took longer somehow his smile widened even more.
"No thats not true," I said, bringing my lips inward of my mouth so I would not smile.
"Really."He replied, in a seductive manner stepping closer as I stepped back.
"Mmmm Hmmm." I nodded and he chuckled.
"Then why aren't you talking."He winked and I shrugged.
Before I knew it, I was against the wall with his lips against my neck.
